lyrics

It's time to face the truth that life is not a counterfeit,
but they will not allow unrest or privilege.
Brace your nerves and take a shot,
your life will now begin.
But not before you find a way to punish them.

Chorus:
Don't believe that you've been classified,
they just want another way to rule you.
Kill the fear they feed into your lives,
make them struggle for check to get through.

Search yourself for grit and steel against the howling wind.
For that's the sound of flaccid pride and decadence.

Chorus.

Forever and always slaves in this domain,
burn with your voice and shake off their old chains.
How can we say "move on!" when it's still the same?
Maybe it's not our blood but it's still our pain.

Chorus x2.

Arcade Island recommends:

Mr. Plastic
by Glowbug

This album is a perfect example of music for the sake of music. There are little to no intelligible words, but lyrics are simply (catchy) melodies, almost as if we should move to the music, not flair. Arcade Island

Tour EP

I love how this album exemplifies feelings and moods, the songs aren't necessarily about events. Sometimes I think that says more about life than anything else. Arcade Island
